I think also, with the director, having only done videos could be a plus or a minus. When Michael Mann directed Last of the Mohicans, he had mainly done music videos, with some TV and I think maybe only one movie--his big plus was that he had worked a long time as a scriptwriter. McG, who did the Charlie's Angels movies and is a very innovative action director, came straight from the music video industry. Gotta start somewhere, right?

Am very curious to see what Sean Bean does with this role. And I think I'm going to have to go out and rent the classic movie DVD now. ;-D
